Gonna Be a Redneck Wedding

Our family got the news today Our bubba's gettin' hitched Young Daisy Mae, she's near fourteen Got our boy bewitched He's sayin' that he loves her He's making her his bride She's the first to get him this close Though not too many tried We've got to get things ready Send invitations and make candles We've got to get the good jars out The one's that still have handles The minister is on alert We've got to make some shine Grandpa says he'll make some up But, it will not all be mine Gonna have a wedding, a real old fashioned bash With all sorts of kissin cousins drinkin from their secret stash The food will be impressive, there'll be turkey, pig and cow The family won't get bigger, since we're related anyhow This time there'll be no shotgun Like the last time for old Ben This time the guns are empty Not the way they were back then The banjos will be tuned up There'll be music in the air The cops won't try to stop it I think most will all be there The ladies will be planning Just how to serve up all the grub While Bubba has to find a suit And therein lies the rub He's never worn a suit at all Not even for a day He's only dressed in coveralls And that's how he's gonna stay Gonna have a wedding, a real old fashioned bash With all sorts of kissin cousins drinkin from their secret stash The food will be impressive, there'll be turkey, pig and cow The family won't get bigger, since we're related anyhow It'll be a wang dang doodle A hell of a good time It'll only be completed When they run out of the shine there'll be singing and some dancing Underneath the harvest moon We can't wait for it to happen It cannot come too soon There'll be readings from the bible Which the minister will read And as good holy Christians Everyone will heed There's sure to be some fighting Before the couple say "I do" I mean, they are both cousins I'm gonna go...aren't you? Gonna have a wedding, a real old fashioned bash With all sorts of kissin cousins drinkin from their secret stash The food will be impressive, there'll be turkey, pig and cow The family won't get bigger, since we're related anyhow
